Greetings from the bathroom
Remember once and for all:Any photo where your child is partially or completely naked, such as when he is taking a bath or running on the beach without underwear, is not for the public! How can you not capture a moment dear to your heart and share the happiness with everyone around you? Yes, such pictures seem cute to you, but you should keep in mind that they can fall into the wrong hands - to child pornographers or, even worse, to pedophiles.
Ow, it hurts!
Our job as parents is to protect our children.When we post pictures of our children who are sick or injured on social media, we are not protecting them at all. Why should everyone know that the baby has chickenpox? So that they will shy away from him? And before you reach for your phone and turn on the camera, ask yourself whether you want someone to publish a picture of you when you feel lousy. Most likely, the answer will be negative, and this is a reason to think about your behavior.

Aren't you ashamed?
Did your child bring home a bad grade?He drew on his face with waterproof markers or you caught him eating dirt... Any shameful situation is not a reason to take a photo! Even if you really want to "Instagram" a diary with a bad grade, hold back. Shaming not only violates the trusting relationship between parents and children, but can also lead to the development of post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and depression in the child's future life. Do not photograph or post shameful moments anywhere.
And we're on the potty!
Even if for you the fact that the child is the firstused the potty, is a crazy joy, refrain from documenting it. Let the joyful event remain within the family circle. Remember: everything you post on the Internet does not go anywhere, but remains there forever. Do you think your son or daughter will be happy when they become teenagers and find a liked photo on the potty on the World Wide Web?
Secretly to the whole world

Including when you proudly display a diploma for the best number in kindergarten with a full name, a photo from a school assembly against the background of a building with a sign and address, from a playground near the house. Do not disclose the data by which the child can be found. The world is not without good people, but, alas, not without bad ones, and it is better not to provoke the latter.
Group photos
If you decide to publish a joint photofrom your Sasha's circus with your neighbor's Masha, it's cute and great. But if you made the decision for other parents, keep in mind that they may not be happy when they find out that their child has become a social media star without their knowledge... Before taking any group photos with other kids, ask their mom and dad for permission. Not everyone can be as open as you.
Fears, weaknesses and stupidities
Photo:Getty ImagesAll children are different, some are afraid to be photographed, others cry on the swings, others cannot tie their shoelaces and start crying. In any case, no matter what fear, weakness or even stupidity your child shows, it should not be photographed and posted on the Internet. If you remember what school is, what a society of children is in general, then you understand that someone who is different from the rest can be humiliated, bullied and teased. So do not give potential offenders a reason. Adult problems, as we all know, come from childhood.
Ambiguous photos
So you give your child a glass of beer to hold oryou drive out of the garage with him on your lap, and at these moments you take a photo. Yes, little ones behind the wheel are funny, and many will laugh at a toddler with a mug. But such photos, taken for the sake of a joke, can become a reason for criticism. A neighbor, colleague, teacher will see what you teach children, and it is not a fact that everyone will understand the joke. Perhaps there will be those who will have negative emotions from the photo, and this is a reason for gossip and discussion behind your back. Do you need it? It is also useful to know:
